Host Beau sat down backstage at The Roxy at Mahalls in Lakewood,
Ohio with Pepper Keenan, Woody Weatherman, and Bobby Landgraf of
Corrosion of Conformity hours before their May 10th show for a
half-hour deep dive into Good God / Baad Man — out now on
Nuclear Blast Records.
Topics covered: why the album sounds like a COC greatest hits
record and why that was intentional, the heavy underground surge
of 2026, how Stanton Moore's drumming caused Pepper to rewrite
60% of his lyrics, the double album concept and why it was fully
sequenced before they turned the amps on, the hidden Mississippi
writing retreat with no clock and no hotel, recording with no
isolation or control room with mattresses against cabinets,
Warren Riker replacing John Custer after his severe tinnitus
diagnosis, drums and bass tracked live to tape at Dockside Studio
in Maurice Louisiana, guitar at Barry Gibb's private studio, the
six-foot oil painting by Scott Guion made during the sessions,
Bobby Landgraf locking in with Stanton on bass, recording at
Electric Lady Studios for Deliverance and Wise Blood with
Superunknown engineer Jason Cassaro, human music vs AI, demo
tracks and cassette vocals that made the final record, Handcuff
County in one live take, Lose Yourself on radio everywhere,
Brickman with brushes for the first time on a COC record,
shoeboxes of unreleased material and Electric Lady cassette
tapes still intact, and plans for Part 2.
Good God / Baad Man out now on Nuclear Blast Records.
